I think it is the first time there is a court ruling specifically
against a public DNS resolver?

Note the reasoning (if some german-speaking person can confirm this is
a fair summary?):

This is indeed common in court: either you are neutral or you are not
and, in the second case, you can no longer claim you are "just an
intermediary". When you start filtering DNS answers, it is hard to
resist pressures to add more filtering.
